The date is approaching for the American Classic, 2026 Corndog Kickoff Fair Food Grazing Party! On Saturday, July 11, the Blue Ribbon Foundation honors America's 250th birthday by hosting an unforgettable night to celebrate and support the restoration of the historic Iowa State Fairgrounds.
While the Corndog Kickoff is known for its contagious energy and great food, two guest favorite events are returning this year, and they need your help to be successful: The Bake Sale and the Wine Pull.
The Bake Sale-
The Bake Sale invites the community to share their favorite recipes and homemade creations. Are you known for your famous chocolate chip cookies? Award-winning pies?
Now is your chance to bring your irresistible flavors to light while also giving back in an old-fashioned bake sale.
Attendees will browse and purchase a variety of these treats, making it one of the best parts of the evening.
Want to know how to get involved? Bake and share something delicious by donating an item. Every item helps to fund the ongoing improvements of the Fairgrounds, keeping the spirit alive.
The Wine Pull-
For a donation, Corndog Kickoff attendees can select a mystery bottle of wine. These bottles range from premium surprises to everyday favorites. A little mystery never hurts anyone- you never know what you're going to get, but you'll be supporting a meaningful cause with every bottle purchased.
We need your help! To contribute and get involved in this fan favorite event, simply donate a bottle of wine. Your donation, no matter the variety, means more for the overall guest experience, helping the Blue Ribbon Foundation Rebuild the Dream.
Donate today!
Whether you’re baking up something special, donating a bottle of wine, or simply attending and enjoying the festivities, there’s a way for everyone to be part of the Corndog Kickoff.
